Media Bias Fact Check selects and publishes fact checks from around the world. We only utilize fact-checkers that are either a signatory of the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) or have been verified as credible by MBFC. Further, we review each fact check for accuracy before publishing. We fact-check the fact-checkers and let you know their bias. When appropriate, we explain the rating and/or offer our own rating if we disagree with the fact-checker. (D. Van Zandt)

| BLATANT LIE |
Claim by Donald Trump (R): $12 billion in farmer aid came from tariff revenue.

| TRUE | Claim via Social Media: The White House posted and deleted authentic footage showing Trump mocking Supreme Court justices, Emmanuel Macron, and others.
Snopes rating: True (Archived footage and independent copies confirm the video was real and unaltered; Trump made the remarks, though some viral claims added minor inaccuracies.) White House posted and deleted video of Trump mocking SCOTUS justices, Macron and others |
| MISLEADING | Claim by Donald Trump (R): Iran was “right at the doorstep” of having a nuclear bomb before the U.S. attack.
FactCheck.org rating: Misleading (Experts said there was no evidence of an imminent nuclear weapon, and Iran was not close to weaponizing its nuclear material.) |
| FALSE | (International: Australia): Australia doesn’t use oil from the Strait of Hormuz.
AAP rating: False (Australia imports Middle East oil that travels through the strait and Asian petrol made from Middle East oil.) |
